Summary

The present study will use a randomised controlled trial design to investigate whether moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA) will affect the physiological risk markers associated with the development of bowel cancer in individuals previously diagnosed with a bowel polyp. The study will also investigate the effects of the programme on long-term exercise behaviour and changes in psychological variables. A selected sample will also be part of individual interviews at baseline and 12 months to gauge narrative accounts of personal, psychological and sociological beliefs surrounding participation in physical activity. The findings of this study might inform better practices for the prevention of bowel cancer in high risk populations.

After a screening colonoscopy, eligible participants will be randomised to either an active lifestyle programme (ALP) or a standard care group (SC). Participants in ALP will be offered supervised exercise sessions and motivational interviewing for 6 months. Intervention components will cease after 6 months, but participants will be followed-up at 12 months to investigate maintenance to physical activity over the long-term. The SC will not be offered the intervention until the end of the study. Participants in both groups will be invited for assessments at baseline, 3, 6, 9, and 12 months. These include measurements of body composition, cardiopulmonary fitness, physical activity behaviour, and psycho-social variables.
